ColorGood morning, friends. You know when people ask you: What is your favorite color? And at first, you think it's such a silly or simple question. But is it? I don't think so, because it begs the question of why. Why has it come to be your favorite color? We wouldn't have one if it didn't speak to a part of who we are. Sometimes, it's the simplest questions that shed the most light. So I ask you: What is your favorite color? Why?
For me, I have two, but I'll focus on the one that gets the most guff. When someone asks me that question, immediately, I say, "Pink." And immediately people think: What a girl! Yes. And no. Pink reminds me of my love for dance. My youth. The innocence of being young. Tutus. Strawberry frosting on a vanilla cake (my favorite). And lipstick. I love lipstick. It also reminds me that I should take pride in my feminine traits, in being a woman. There is nothing remotely wrong with enjoying femininity. Curves. Hips. Lips. Empathy. Vulnerability. Sensuality. Patience. Intuition. But even beyond all that? Remember the kid books: Pinkalicious? The brother loved pink but hid it? That. That is why I also love pink. We need to take pink back. It's not a bad thing. And it shouldn't mean "girly." And boys who like it shouldn't be labeled as inferior. "Stop acting like a girl" pisses me off. Pink is a damn pretty color. Ever see a pink sunrise? Coral in the sand? How about cherry blossoms? Or Rose Champagne? A pink rose? Or a pearl? Exactly. And that, my friends, is my thought for the day.

I like Red. Pink is a pretty color and I have a couple of tops in pink and some tops in red. Red is a pretty color and reminds me of Romance, sunsets, red roses, red wine. I like wearing red nail polish and red lip gloss or lipstick.

While I have been a pink kind of person for most of my life (and have about 20 bottles of nail polish in all shades of pink to prove it...lol) in November my new favorite color became Sapphire blue because it is my granddaughters birthstone. She was only 33 days old when she came in contact with someone who had Meningitis and passed away. I know wear something blue everyday in honor of her.

I am so sorry to read this, but I love how you've made it into something beautiful. I may have just been convinced to change my favorite color because of this. In my book Imogen, sapphire is the stone of their country and plays a part.
